There isn't very much cactus in NV, rocks on the other hand... Pretty much the entire state is full of rock hounding.. some places you can just park off the side of the road and collect rocks.
50 is by no means 'lonely', there's a pretty good amount of traffic on it.. however you're not likely to come across a traffic jam.
There's a lot of boondocking available as well, 86+% of the state is BLM most of which is open. And a lot of out of the way state parks. Be wary though, some state parks were built a long time ago and the campgrounds are more suited to truck campers and small trailers.
This is 361 south of 50, somewhere between Middlegate and Gabbs. Pretty good idea of the terrain, mostly grasses and sage. After all the rain this year, expect tons of jackrabbits on the roads, dead and otherwise.... lots of food and they breed like.. you know...
